  1. I was just about to say the same. I would like to see us be a little more physical back at these guys.
  2. I would also add that: A. He didn't start out that well either, opening up with 2 losses to Mexico in 2 games B. He generally was running out a A level squad against Mexico. This 11 is a B-/C squad if you ask me.
  3. Meh. All but one of his games was on US soil.
  4. Austin filled their stadium better than Mexico.
  5. SpaceX - amazing company Neuralink - could be amazing Tesla - once upon a time an amazing company but the leadership of musk has seriously led them astray. My biggest gripes concerns are: 1.WTF is that robot crap? Waste of time and money. I don’t seen the market for them. 2. Why is Leon so dead set on FSD with minimal hardware? I mean I know why he wants to be able to sell it as a feature to everyone. But given how far they are behind the companies that have L5, I don’t get why he hasn’t punted on this. Put Lidar in the cars and maybe actually achieve FSD. 3. Why are they spending time making MORE expensive cars and not trying to make less expensive cars? They could dominate the market if they actually ever achieved a sub $30K vehicle. I get making the Cybertruck. Rivian is demonstrating people want EV trucks. But don’t do it at the expense of lower priced cars. The CT didn’t have to be a potential Tesla killer. It could have been a new luxury in a line of cars that also had appeal to the masses. Sure Musk is running his gums and saying dumb things, but he’s also running Tesla like absolute crap. And we shit on him for that too.
  6. Someone else mentioned Ive, Tim Cook could also be on the list. Hartmut Esslinger was a major designer that was pivotal in the look and feel that Apple went for. You're also making a very uneven comparison here. The reason that Jobs received so much recognition for what Apple was doing was because he was working with the teams very closely to make the products and design decisions. He didn't just tell a team "make X" walk away and then slap his name on it when they brought him the design. He was right there in the room making it happen. No question there is a dubiousness about him having his name on over 1,100 Apple patents, but he did directly touch the work that went into each patent. Frankly, when you study Jobs vs Musk, there isn't much of a comparison. Jobs had a unique blend of technical chops, artistic creativity and showmanship for selling his products. Musk has demonstrated that he understands marketing (though recent years are demonstrating that he is more PT Barnum than Jobs in this regard), but completely lacks any of his technical skill or creativity. So to try to make this comparison, just no.
  7. Well yeah. You gotta cater to all those governments buying the DX model rockets. They gotta have Full Self Driving too.
  8. Someone played with grok. https://www.threads.net/@theactionmoviekid/post/DBFVnrNS19S?xmt=AQGz5zjzQ5QtX25wTaksPK9_uSmk0pnP0DV1Z3Vxie9qaw
  9. Clouds and rain today. Going to need to see what Boston can show me.
  10. That guy fell down wrong, right? Because there is no way any Cowboy hits hard enough to hurt anyone.
  11. I’m glad I got to see Jimmy assemble a team that won the titles. Because I am never going to see Jerry do it.
  12. He still won’t let you lick his taint. Musk has assembled an impressive engineering team, but Gwynne Shotwell is much more instrumental in todays success than Leon. And now this
  13. Gwynne Shotwell - you are the real beating heart of SpaceX.
  14. Was that PI? Maybe, but why are you chucking it 25 yards downfield when you just need 5?
  15. Some of us call it crack, some of us call it Big 12 defense.
  16. Best post of the night. Jeez, even DPI couldn't stop that.
